Clueless, just goes to show, you have to believe. Now that you say it, I'm convinced. Clueless before, now enlightened.

How much money do you want to waste?
Beautiful response ASA and Clueless, Kant used Koenigsberg hemp. Nice to smoke in your pipe too! 
Audiophiles - Your Favorite Food??
Ha, what an excellent thread! I'm a carnivore and for me it is filet of beef, rare or underdone, as the Brits say, pepper coated, never under 600 grams. Greatly improves hearing acuity and so far to my experience best served at the "Butcher's Shop...

High End Components - How long do they last?
Grandpad, great to hear I'm not the only one! Wished I had'nt sold my Revox years back, nor my AR D-79. The Stasis II cost me exactly $2800 hard earned bucks! The ML X-over was used and cost $800 and I still use it today to drive my Maggie basspan...

Oh heck, my sincere apologies!...amd I thought I'd detect humour, whenever it raised its wonderful head...just goes to show!!!! Regards, Detlof
